The Northern Garden website is operated by gardening enthusiasts who wish to share knowledge of gardening in the northern climates of North America. The site has been updated every week since May 8, 2000 and has viewers from around the world.

This site is sponsored by local businesses in the north-central region of British Columbia, Canada who support and encourage local gardeners. Thanks for their support.
Please thank them if you get the chance.

Our tireless editor is Diana Roberts of Burns Lake, BC.

Diana is a life-long gardener and has years of experience as a landscape contractor and designer. Diana has taught garden design courses at our local college. She is always on the lookout for plants that can survive our zone 2-3 winters despite what everyone thinks.

Our technical editor is Jim Easterday of Northern Garden Supply in Smithers, BC

Jim is a life-long gardener and is always looking for better ways to garden and to succeed with a greenhouse in our cool summers. Jim is always pioneering new ways to reduce the workload and increase the gardens yield without resorting to short term solutions that harm the soil.
